[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
My [G]name is Amelia,
I [D]used to be a pretty [G]girl
Got [C]married cause it was time
No [G]reason to finish school
He didn't know how to be kind
I just [D]took it on [G]the chin
Never [C]did learn to fight him
Gave up [G]everything to him
Now the kids are all long gone
[D]Busy and far [G]away
Never [C]found much for myself out [G]there
So it's here I [C]stay
But [G]I've got a little money
I'm [D]here to run this [G]home
Too [C]old to spend it now
It's just a [G]little something of my own

[Verse 2]
[Em]This [D]is my [C]story like so
[D]many girls [G]before
[Em]Just another [C]story that doesn't
[D]matter anymore

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
Ah, there's a [G]pretty little girl
[D]I see from time [G]to time
Got her [C]picture here next to me,
seeing my[G]self in her sometimes
She holds on know what is hers
She's got [D]nothing she needs [G]to hide
She gives [C]it away when she wants to
And [G]this one knows how to fight

[Verse 4]
[G]
The world outside the room
Is a [D]place she calls her [G]own
My [C]story is almost over
Hers has [G]just begun

[Verse 5]
[G]I slip her a few dollars
When [D]nobody [G]can see
A little [C]something of my own
For [G]that sweet girl for me
